[job_card.job_description]Exceptionally strong mechanical intuition, you understand how things move, fail, and improve Proven ability to design and prototype quickly without sacrificing rigor Track record of shipping reliable, hardware products at scale Deep hands-on experience designing custom mechanisms, joints, transmissions, and actuators Experience owning mechanical architecture for complex systems with dynamic loads and tight tolerances Comfortable operating across ambiguity, tight timelines, and high expectations Currently working at a robotics company (hands-on mechanical role) Background in electro-mechanical systems with real moving parts (not CAD-only work) Experience taking designs from concept prototype volume production Designed robotic arms, legs, mobile platforms, end-effectors, or actuation systems Personally responsible for motor selection, gearing, kinematics, or load paths Close collaboration with electrical and controls teams Bias for execution and ownership over documentation and theory
Mechanical Engineer (Robotics)
We are partnering with a robotics company building complex electro-mechanical systems where mechanical design directly determines real-world performance. This role is for someone who doesnt just design parts, but owns motion, reliability, and scale .
What Youll Do
- Own the end-to-end mechanical design of complex electro-mechanical systems with moving parts
- Design and prototype custom mechanisms and actuators under aggressive timelines
- Drive concepts from first prototype through high-volume production
- Personally design parts for volume manufacturing processes , including :
- Injection molding
- Die casting
- Stamping / sheet metal
- Extrusion
- Powder metal / MIM
- Partner closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) to ensure DFM, reliability, and cost targets are met
- Build systems that are not just elegant but robust, testable, and shippable at scale
